Yep its quite common. Just a routine check. You didnt do anything wrong, dont worry. My bro got one for toasting a (marked) police car off the lights and then cutting it up!?!?!

Id go for the yellow one (although my g/f hates yellow), over the exclusive. Really hate the Austin Princeses leather seats in the exclusive and not keen on the colour/alloys. No offence intended to exclusive owners, just dont like them!

Yep good choice. I spent my inheritance on my mk.1 172.....lost £4k on depreciation though.... :(

My mk. 1 did it early on and had a similar experience from glorious renault staff. Ended up getting it done under warranty.

My old mk.1 172 - 15.1 -> first ever go at SantaPod, 3/4 tank fuel, crap in boot/back seats, completely standard.

15.1 @ santapod, mk.1 172, first ever go, 3/4 tank fuel, standard car, boot full of crap, bogged start, one cylinder, no steering wheel, diesel conversion. (just joking about the last 3)

I never held back in my old 172 on the corners, it gripped well but felt a bit boaty. Suprisingly the starlet is quite good in this area (could be the expensive suspension helping tho....)

Wasnt the EK9 Civic type R timed at sub 6 seconds?

I guess they mustve put 4 dodgy boxes in my old mk.1 172.....

First ever run with a bogged-down start in my old 172 mk.1 was 15.1 at santapod. Car was completely standard with 3/4 tank fuel and crap in boot/rear seats .

Didnt that guy R2D2 fit one in?

hold it on the limiter for about half an hour, thatl loosen it up nicely and quickly.....

haha...oh dear ............

No

i ran michelin exaltos on my old 172....

hi there matey - its going to be quite expensive im afraid to say. In my 36ker they changed the alternator belt (check your manual/service book it needs to be changed), required removal of front bumper and takes them ages=£££££. Also its a major service as you say and brake pads fitting isnt...

i was 20/21 when i bought my 172. Now 23 with a starlet turbo....

and gear boxes..........

I found my old mk.1 172 got lots of looks from all sorts of people, especially when it was clean. I really liked the looks of it. Everyone that came for a ride in it said ooh nice car as soon as they stepped inside. Be it from the leather/alcantara seats to the air/con to the...

hi tom i used to live in north wales - colwyn bae - do you know it? we lived in the heights on st andrews road......

Twas a good 2 years guys. Pity i didnt get to meet yall. I wish i could afford something with a Type R in the title! ive cut my losses and have chosen something much cheaper. I pick it up this friday. Its a Toyota Starlet GT turbo advance. Bit of a step down, but gets me some £££££ for...

:( Just watched my pride and joy drive off into the distance...... gutting :( Gave her a goodbye clean today, it was very emotional. Getting a replacement this friday. Ill probably be lurking around here whilst my membership fizzles away. Its been fun..... yours, simon

Dare i say i really like the look of the CUPS in fact id admit they look the best of the bunch. Id love a go in one. Just to compare also. A friend had a Pulsar and removed the A/C, he said that made a big difference...... I may go and get a test toast in one somewhere. Just to see...

oh no thats awful. Thats shocking about the ice slide. Im thinking could you get another opinion on the damage. It sounds like a lot of damage for just an "ice slide wheel into kerb". I remember doing this to my scirocco and only needed a new control arm. Wheel rubbed on arch when i...

where do you guys live? its not that cold down here in fairy land

maybe theres less or no sound deadening there?

wonder wheels is ok. I used to work during the summer in between uni years as a valleter, one place being TVR and the wheel acid they used there used to melt the gloves. If you had a cut in your had it stung like anything
